Analysis
The most recent figure for emission totals - emissions (n2o) - land use change in Congo is 0.6994, measured in 2019.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 10.7% on the previous year and up 59.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emission totals - emissions (n2o) - land use change in Congo peaked at 0.9738 in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0.1593, in 2002.
That places Congo 20th out of 208 countries with data for 2019, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 30 years of available data.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from agriculture and forest land. They consist of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from crop and livestock activities, forest management and include land use and land use change processes. Data are computed at Tier 1 of the IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Estimates are available by country, with global coverage for the period 1961–2019 with projections for 2030 and 2050 for some categories of emissions or 1990–2019 for others. The database is updated annually. The FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O and CO2 emissions/removals and their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 106 kg). The latter are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014).
